Civic Orchestra: Holst’s The Planets

Bernstein, Holst

Newly appointed music director of the Eugene Symphony, Francesco Lecce-Chong, conducts this program beginning with Bernstein’s Jeremiah Symphony, a work that explores the composer’s Jewish heritage. Holst’s enduringly popular orchestral suite The Planets, influenced by the astrological significance of Earth’s seven neighbors, concludes the 2017/18 Civic Orchestra season.
